    Excellent! Retrostar Music is a very fair seller - they gave me a 5% discount on top of an already great price! They also communicated the status of my order quite frequently. The CD I ordered came in a box with plenty of wrapping paper to ensure it would not get beaten up in shipping. Usually sellers just send CDs in envelopes, so I was pleasantly surprised when this arrived in a box. The CD itself is in perfect condition. A+ experience! I would highly recommend this seller!

    "Moneyball" is an old/new movie/DVD that I haven't seen. "Retrostar Music" as seller had some of Mr. Pitts movies & this was labelled "New", I decided to purchase it. The seller sent all I ordered with FREE shipping &discounted the price of all as well. It took less than a week - six days - for my complete order to arrive & they were all carefully packaged & arrived in two boxes. If I ever have a question regarding what else is in the seller's inventory, I always receive a very prompt reply.

    I can heartily recommend this book and I would certainly buy it again!

    I own a few books that I read about once a year...this is one of them. For several years I had an older edition and when this one came out, I felt I had to have it and I have not been disappointed. This book is pretty much a one stop course in using a map and compass. The information is clear and concise. "Be Expert With Map & Compass" is not only a good book for beginners, older heads can find it useful as well. I first learned map and compass in 1966 and I find this book useful for staying sharp with my map and compass skills. I even learned a couple of new tricks the first time I read it. Everything considered, I like the book a lot and I have great respect for Mister Kjellstrom's expertise! His daughter wrote the updates and she is quite knowledgeable as well. I own and have read ...

    awesome book for the person with little to no knowledge of maps and map usage

    This book would be excellent for scout leaders youth camp leaders and people who want to learn how to use a map and compass but have little to no prior knowledge. The book is written in an easy to follow step by step format. each chapter building off the previous chapter. The instructions are easy to follow and there are plenty of practical exercises in each section to apply the concepts chapter by chapter. If you can use a map and compass already this boob will probably be nothing new.

    Excellent book to have

    This is an excellent book to learn how to use a map and compass. Lots of information on Orienteering. However, I haven't finished the book yet and I found three mistakes. But I still recommend this book.
